You can ditch Nims GC and runtime and bring your own if you want. Of course you'd lose access to most of the stdlib but this is why Nim can be used and is popular for embedded / bare metal.

Tmk Crystal still lacks Windows support as well and probably other os's / archs's compared to Nim

Windows support is close. See this issue:

Windows support has been a target since 2013. That's too long for me to put any credibility in projections on when it will be generally released.

Crytal can disable GC and runtime too.

Of course, same as Nim, you lose access to most of the stdlib.
